    This looks really cool at first glance, but I'm not sure if minions who received Taunt via your card's battlecry count towards the quest. If that works, it's a great card. Can someone confirm or deny my suspicion?

    I brought Hunter and Mage home to 1.000 in February and March. Not sure where to continue now, since I'm not even close to a threshold with another class... Paladin, Warlock and Warrior are all between 200 and 300. I must admit I like aggro and already pushed Demon Hunter to 80 wins, almost exclusively in wild. I guess I'll just wait and see what the nerfs do to the wild meta before I focus on a certain class. Sadly, I'm low on dust after crafting a Darkest Hour Warlock deck last week.

    Thanks for all the feedback, especially you, shaveyou. Of course you're right, I looked it up and there's not a single Warrior card with Divine Shield in the game. Stripping an Annoy-o-minion of its Divine Shield is no option, so I'll go with Blackhand. It will basically be the same card but with Reborn instead of Divine Shield. I feel this is necessary to reach the powerlevel I'm aiming for, this is ment to stick no matter the board state. I'll tune down the stats to 9/5/6 as Sinti suggested though. It can still be buffed by Armagedillo or something.

    Regarding your own cards, I agree with KANSAS. Nothing to add to his evaluation.

    Last but not least, I want to express how awesome this community is. You veterans help us newbies a lot and it's alway constructive, friendly criticism. I'm all in for perfectionism when it comes to card designing and there's just so much you have to think about. Thanks a lot for helping me out!

    Okay guys, last try. I couldn't stop thinking about Warrior needing a late game control bomb. What I came up with is this:

    Obviously the effect is really powerful, that's why I made it a highlander card. What I initially wanted to do was give a minion this effect with Taunt and Elusive. But as long as the latter isn't an official keyword that's just too much text. I prepared an alternative Warchief Blackhand card with Reborn instead of Divine Shield, but the flavor is not good. Summoning copies without restriction Saronite-style happened on purpose. 

    Is this better than my other idea? Is it too OP?

    Edit: Following Annoy-o-Tron and Annoy-o-Module, the stats should be 8/4/8...

    There go my 6.000 dust I spent yesterday to craft my first Darkest Hour deck ever. Needless to say I lost almost every game with it. But that one time I pulled the combo off on turn 3 was great!

    Okay, I must admit that I didn't know Bolster was a thing. My furst try was way too similar to this, so I tried to come up with something new. I'm actually pretty happy with this one. It's flexible, it does something on play, it helps finishing the quest and isn't useless once we did so. What do you think about this:

    I like the card, but the watermark is an unusual choice for two reasons:

    1. The flavor is off with the rest of the expansion.
    2. I Know a Guy existed at the time, in the expansion literally right before Un'Goro.

    If you moved it to Saviors of Ulduum, I don't think anyone would begrudge the power creep. Although you are basically doing what you did with Bolster originally...

    Also: you totally skipped right over me on the first page lol :P

    Thanks for your help! Obviously, I had not thought of I Know a Guy either when I created my second attempt. Sigh. I'm close to give up on coming up with something original and just submit this. 

    Also sorry for overlooking your post! I'm torn between Annoy-O-Giant and Against the Wall. But the latter is more creative so I guess that's the better choice.

    Thanks Nirast! The potential 14 Armor gain frightened me into making it really expensive. I adjusted it to your suggestion. Here's the alternative art, which would you like better?

    Feedback time!

    I like the flavor of Thaurissan's Guard. It fits Blackrock very well. Ironmelt Guardian is difficult because what happens if you quipped a targeted hero power like mages? That said, Dragon Turtle has the cooles art and the effect is really innovative. I think it's the most interesting card and you should go with that one.

    There's a typo in the name ("challAnger"), the point behind "Taunt" shouldn't be there and you should take care of the orphan in the last line. The card is interesting, but probably too slow to see play. But what if you added magnetic? That would be really crazy, since you should end up adding a copy of the other minion to your hand. A second Zilliax would be great.

    This reminds me of Val'anyr. Interesting concept, but I have no idea if it is balanced.

    Gallywix and cost effects make for good flavor. I like it.

    Make sure to add the Evil Heckler reference to the description, I would have missed that. Great thinking!

    Simple and solid, but I'm having difficulties bringing the art and the card together. A huge warlord Demon with 1/2/2? Is there some WoW lore behind this I don't know about?

    Here's my first idea:

     

    I've got a second iteration with different art, but imgur is malfunctioning right now. Feedback would be very welcome.

    I found ZardozSpeakz idea to ask Linkblade what the deck is missing really helpful. Too bad Sulfuras requires the minions to be played. Maybe I'll try my hand at another Taunt minion with Echo, but that will be hard I guess...

    Played all day and didn't make any progress, exactly 50% winrate between platinum 4 and 3. Every game against warlock is a win, every single one against mage is a loss. I even teched in eater of secrets but it didn't help. I also usually lose against Odd Demon Hunters. 

    All in all I already have 52 wins with Demon Hunter after 2 days playing, but just zero progress on the ladder. I must say your deck is fun nevertheless, thanks again!

    Gonna try this now. Thanks for sharing! Also what do you think about Vulpera Scoundrel? I added her to the Odd DH list yesterday with good results.

    And it probably killed the deck with skull of gulden no longer odd costed. I swapped in an acolyte of pain and a second henchclan thug. Not sure if it works yet. 

    Anyone else trying Odd Demon Hunter with suggestions for the replacement of skull?

    Have you already tried it? I didn't pull Zixor from a pack and still miss the quest so I wanted to ask you if it's working before I invest heavily.

    Hearthstone not being prepared includes bugs. I tried Odd Demon Hunter in wild and when the last game started, Baku didn't upgrade my hero power. The two games before that it worked fine. Didn't change anything in between, checked for even cards afterward. No idea what happened.

    So I noticed something weird the first game I played Odd DH. If you start the game with an Eye Beam with Outcast active in your hand, Baku doesn't trigger.

     

    Was that the case for you?

    Yes, that's it! Thanks a lot, now I can play around it. I hope they'll fix this soon.

    Thanks for the feedback! I slept over it and reconsidered the drawback of my card. As you pointed out, it is too similar to Darkshire Librarian and Discard feels wrong in hunter. So here's my second try (self damage) with the version (discard) for comparison. 

    What do you think? Is self damage better than discard? Is 5 damage too much?
